| Beschrijving keerzijde | Orange note with a decorative guilloche border incorporating circular corner medallions each bearing '3 MARK'. The central vignette presents a detailed letterpress illustration of a coal miner in work attire standing to the left before a panoramic view of the 'Zeche Centrum 1/5' colliery, with pit headframes, smokestacks, and billowing steam rendered in fine line work. Flanking the vignette are two heraldic shields bearing crossed hammers, the mining symbol of the Ruhr region, and two-line verse inscriptions appear above and below the central image. |

Wattenscheid's 3 Mark Notgeld from 1921 sits in the tail end of Germany's municipal emergency money wave, by which point hundreds of German cities and towns were issuing their own paper to compensate for chronic small-denomination coin shortages that had persisted since the war. Fr. Wilh. Ruhfus was a well-established Dortmund commercial printer that handled a significant volume of Westphalian Notgeld during this period — their work is competent but workmanlike, without the elaborate chromolithographic ambition of some contemporary issues.
The watermark security feature is worth noting: by 1921, many municipal issuers had stopped bothering, making its presence here slightly unusual for a note at this denomination and scale.
